A lively tour through Japan, Korea, and China, exploring their intertwined cultures and fraught history, by the author of The Almost Nearly Perfect People. There is an ancient Chinese proverb that states, "Two tigers cannot share the same mountain." However, in East Asia, there are three tigers on that mountain—China, Korea, and Japan—and they have a long history of turmoil and tension with one another. In this entertaining and thought-provoking travelogue, Michael Booth sets out to discover how deep the enmity really is between these three "tiger" nations and what prevents them from making peace. Booth, long fascinated with the region, travels by car, ferry, train, and foot, experiencing the people and culture of these nations up close. No matter where he goes, the burden of history, and the memory of past crimes, continues to overshadow present relationships. An enlightening, entertaining and sometimes sobering journey, Three Tigers, One Mountain is an intimate and in-depth look at three fascinating countries and their cultures. Praise for Three Tigers, One Mountain "[An] enjoyable and information-packed travelogue. . . . [Booth] is a terrific observer of the region's educated youth, who make him an optimist. . . . His deft, accurate summaries of the contentious history in each place work well." — The Sunday Times (London) "An evenhanded, accessible, and pertinent work of Asian history and current affairs." — Kirkus Reviews "Cheerfully digressive and intellectually undisciplined, this enthusiastic account will whet readers' appetites for a more in-depth treatment of the political, cultural, and historical forces at play in the region." — Publishers Weekly
The Facts on File Companion to the World Novel
by Michael Sollars, Arbolina Llamas Jennings
2008 · Infobase Publishing
From a rising literary star, award-winning author Michael X. Wang, an epic historical novel, set against the tense backdrop of the Long March and Mao’s rise to power, that tells a powerful and moving story of two ordinary people. China, 1934: A naive orphan and shy gunsmith, Ping, has fallen in love with Yong, who is a sophisticated veteran, a skilled marksman, and a true believer in Marxist ideology. Winning her affections will take an ideological battle—something he does not understand. To make matters worse, Yong has shown interest in Ping’s best friend, Luo. On the eve of a great Communist defeat, Ping sabotages Luo’s rifle, causing the bullet to backfire into his friend’s head. The army begins its year-long retreat, known as the Long March, and Yong turns to Ping for comfort and companionship. Ping deeply regrets killing his friend, and as his relationship with Yong blossoms, he is saddened that it will always be colored by guilt. Yong soon becomes pregnant. She hates the way the baby inside is changing her, both physically and emotionally. The Red Army can’t retreat with a crying infant, so they need to find someone close to take the baby in. Ping and Yong leave their son with a woman, promising to return once the war is won. When World War II breaks out and Japanese soldiers arrive, their 12-year-old son decides to enlist in the Japanese army to find his parents, though he quickly begins to fear for his life . . . Deeply moving and brilliantly written, Michael X. Wang’s Lost in the Long March is an exploration of how the history of a country is always its people, though their stories are often the first to be lost.
